  • 27' RC Celta de Vigo come into this ranked 6 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 32' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ilaix Moriba suffering a number of foals already.
